Addy's Birthday Party

2011-10-23T14:14:00.001-06:00

We celebrated Addy's 1st birthday!! It was a very full day for me, My mom was so wonderful and helped me with all the decor (we made everything ourselves besides a few things) and getting the place all set up. It turned out really nice. My dad started out with making frosting for the cookies, then Addy and I got ready and then we headed over to the clubhouse to drop everything off. I still had to get balloons and the cake, So off we went and I stuffed 24 balloons into my car. Addy wasn't liking it to much but she managed. Then I went and picked up the cake. It turned out so cute and very tasty. Once all the errands were done my mom and I started to put the place together. It was a nice night for all of use. Addy sure had fun.

She was loving when everyone was singing to her she was just looking me like... Oh mom this is fun.

The start of eating her cake she wasn't a big fan. She's a lot like me and hates having her hand dirty or something on them.

Addy had a great first bday, she was a spoiled little girl and loves all her fun toys she got. Thank you to everyone that came. We love our family and friends.

My Baby Girl is 1

2011-10-22T19:21:00.000-06:00

I can not believe a year has gone by since we welcomed the most beautiful blessing in our life. Oct 19 2010 was one of the most amazing days of my life and a year later is even better... Watching this beautiful little girl grow and learn things is so fun. I love being a mommy.

Addy is the easiest baby ever... She is a total mommy's girl.

At one year old Addy......

She knows sign language, signs MORE, THANK YOU, PLEASE, and we are working on FOOD

She says DADA (first word), MAMA, PAPA, (for grandpa)
So everytime Addy's belly would show I would rub it and say "OH LA LA" so a while ago I said "OH LA LA PRETTY GIRL" she rubbed her belly so now if you say that to her she smiles and laughs and rubs her belly so cute.

She is one of the smartest babies, I can say something to her and she response and know what I'm trying to say, She takes the brush and I tell her to brush her hair and she does it, when she pulls her bow out of her hair and tries to put it right back in.

She is a crawling girl but likes to hold on to things and walk around them.

She loves cloths, I show her 2 outfits and ask her which one and she always picks just one and smiles and laughs. So cute....

You cough she coughs, you speck loud she will too, she tries to copy everything I say...

She will just sit and talk to herself and sits and laughs and waves her arms around its the cutest thing ever, I wish I knew what she was saying.
Her new thing is she will put both her hands on her cheeks when she is upset, its so cute.
She loves to dance, when she hears music she will start moving her little body.

She loves looking at books.

She is loving milk now she transferred over really quickly.

She loves peas, bread, and yogurt.

She knows how to unlock the iPhone and it is so cute she uses her little thumb and kinda flicks it.

Wow there is so much she does, I love this little girl. I am so grateful to be her mommy and loving this little person. What a great year we have had together, Addy is the greatest joy ever. Addison mommy loves you so much and am so grateful for your sweet spirit in my life. I am so happy to see what this year brings us and to see you grow up so much more. You are the cutest little thing ever, I love spending every day with you and watching you learn new things.

Quick up date

2011-07-23T15:44:00.001-06:00

Well like always its been forever since I last posted anything....
Everyone is doing great here.... Addy is now 9 months and had her check up the other day

She is weighing in at 17.7 lbs and is 27 in long. She is getting really needy and you can't leave the room with out her freaking out wondering where you went. This make is hard to do anything. but she is the stinking cutest thing ever. She knows how to clap her hand and when you start to sing "Patty Cake" she will clap so cute, she makes the funnest noises and when ever you cough she will try and copy you and throw out the fakest coughs its too funny. If she does something and you laugh at her she will keep doing it. She is one smart girl. She loves to sit and talk talk talk.... We are trying to get her to say Mama and Dada and teach her how to wave. I don't think it will take her to long to get it. She won't keep a head band on her head, we can barely fit her hair into a little pony tail on top of her head. She is getting so big she now has her 2 bottom teeth, it crazy how time flies..... other then Addy getting bigger and smart we haven't been up to to much just hanging out and making improvements to our home. Whats a post with out pic.

Addy first sucker was a See's butterscotch

Addy's 9 month check up.... just look at that belly

she loves food and is eating scraps off of our plates now

She has at least 1 blow out every other day

She is getting really good at sitting up by herself and is even starting to scoot across the floor on her belly.

one day at work i got this pic addy wouldn't let chris put her down so he had to get things done like this.... little stinker

Addy is in swim lessons with her friend Milly and they are so fun its a parent taught class. I love our time together.

One day after swim lessons Addy fell asleep with her bottle and tooth brush in her mouth

First cookie.... look at that hair.... its getting so long and crazy

Addy is getting bigger by the min.....We just love her to pieces.

Couponing

2011-05-14T14:34:00.000-06:00

Well I am addicted to coupons... Since I have started couponing I have saved over a $1,000.00 I just wanted to show you some of the hauls I have done.

My first Walgreens trip... Total: $110 Saved: $71 Spent $39

All this for $4.50

This was at smith and it was a huge sale no coupons... But I saved $100 on this

Walgreens trip.... Total: $147.64 Spent: $36.66

Target Total:$73.43 Spent: $23.43

This was last weeks Walmart trip with double coupons

Total: $215.02

Savings: $128.48

Spent: $86.02

So I didnt get everything I wanted at Walmart the night before so I went to a different one and got a few things

Total: $20.84

Saved: $16

Spent: $4.84

Couponing is so fun... All the fun stuff you get and the supplies you have forever. Its funny cuz when I go couponing I dont even want to spend $.25 cents on something. so I try not to unless I really want it. Most of the stuff you never think you will use is FREE anyways but if you got it you will use it.

Disney-- Day 6

2011-05-14T14:06:00.002-06:00

So we didnt want to drive all the way home so we decide to stay in Vegas. We stayed at the Monte Carlo and they had over booked the hotel so they upgraded our room. We were on the 32nd floor they had a buffet all the time with food and drinks. it was fun... You had to put your room key in the elevator to even get you up there.

Still a normal room but fun way nicer

Getting ready to head out to hit up the outlets and get our shopping on. (Have I ever told you how much I hate shopping.)

We had a fun trip with my dad, step mom, brother sister in law and my 2 nephews. The next trip will be the disney cruise 2013 so excited.

Disney-- Day 5

2011-05-14T13:59:00.000-06:00

We finished at Disneyland.... Hit the last couple of rides we didnt the first day and hit a couple of our favorites.

We found some princesses and got them to sign Addy's book... Addy loved it

Addy was tired here.

Got my nephew face painted like a dragon... he is so funny.

We had dinner at Goofy kitchen.

Addy loved the Genie he was for sure her favorite. She smiled at him the whole time. I think she had a little crush. ha ha

Snow white... Addy looks funny ha

SO funny that pluto had to sign like this.

Chip and Dale were there. My nephew Kye hate all of them. He was scared. We had a really fun trip Addy did awesome at every park and everything we did.

Disney-- Day 4

2011-05-14T13:50:00.000-06:00

Day 4 we spent it at Seaworld. This was Chris favorite day. I love seaworld too, I love the marine life.

the dolphin show was awesome... the re-did everything and now have birds in the show. they also added divers that do flips of a plate form into the water.

Shamu is always the best show.... these animals are amazing.

We got the most burnt this day. it was a fun day and Addy is an amazing baby and did good everyday. we are so lucky to have her.

Disney-- Day 3

2011-05-14T13:43:00.000-06:00

Day 3 we spent over in California Adventures.... We didnt take a whole lot of pic its fun though. We slept in that morning and just took it easy. We had a long day the day before so we just relaxed this day.

Hollywood Tower Hotel.... What a fun ride.

Disneyland-- Day 2

2011-05-14T13:37:00.000-06:00

Well Day 2 was at Disneyland and we got a early pass.... So we hit Disney at 7 AM... we could only get 2 rides in before everyone else started coming. (remind you this is chris first trip to Disneyland) we hit up space mtn first. It was a little chilly but nice cuz we weren't dieing of heat.

We got Addy one of those books to have all the Characters sign and Pluto was the first one we found. Addy loved all his wiskers

The book has a place where you can put a pic next to where they signed which I thought was pretty cool.

Goofy was next... Addy loved all of them

Mini house.... I love all the places in toon town

Mini's house

Micki was so cute with Addy.... He was making kissing nosies and she was laughing. There was a pic where Micki put his nose to her and made the kiss noise and she had her hand on is nose and she turned and looked at the camera, we didn't get it on our but the photographer there did. so I gotta go find it.

Pooh was that absolute cutest with her. She loved him the most. He was so sweet.

He was a grump... Signed our book and took a pic thats it.

He was cute too. but a little disappointed in the acting.

We had a fun day at Disneyland.... We eneded the night with The World of Color over in California Advantages... We didnt get any pic of that cuz Chris just filmed the whole thing, but its a really cool water show with music and color.

Disneyland-- Day 1

2011-05-14T13:24:00.000-06:00

We had a fun family vacation in Disneyland.... The night we got there we went and walked around Downtown Disney waiting for our hotel room so we could check in and we found this little hat for Addy.... Then we went to Medieval times. Addy was not excited about all the noise. We had to get her ear plugs and when they stayed in she did great but they would always fall out cuz her ears are so tiny. We started out being the Red/Yellow team and since Addy would just cry the whole time.... I had to go stand somewhere else. I was over in the Red teams section and she did much better over there so Chris and I switched colors and sat in the Red team section. That is such a fun show and fun way to eat your meal. If you have never been make sure you go. The horse are just amazing the things they do.

This is where we started....

Well the RED knight won it was a fun dinner.

Anniversary

2011-04-15T09:58:00.000-06:00

I forgot on March 5th Chris and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We spent it just being lazy together and gifts in the morning. I got Chris 2 tickets to go to a Dallas Cowboys game and Im really mad to hear that the players are on strike (what the heck dont they make enough money that they dont need anymore?)

Chris got me Latisse. I have been wanting that for awhile now.

Its crazy to think what has all happened in the last 2 years, what amazing years we have already had. We have lived in 3 different states, Indiana, Minnesota, and of coarse Utah (our favorite) We added to our family with a beautiful baby girl who brings so much joy to our lives. I cant believe its been 2 years I look forward to many more to come. I am so thankful for a hard working husband and everything he does for us. He is amazing in every way possible.

Huge Update and a load of Pic

2011-04-14T11:48:00.000-06:00

I know I am a huge slacker and its been forever but Ill just give you a quick update on whats been happening over here in the Passey home.

Addy had her 4 month check up 2 months ago on Feb 25 her stats

Weight-- 12.82 lbs 25%

Head-- 16.7 in 90%

Height-- 25.4 in 90%

These were her 3 month pic and blessing pic. We blessed Addy on March 6th and Chris gave her a beautiful blessing. She is so loved and got to share this special day with her cousin Peyton who also was blessed on this day. Just a few of her in her blessing dress.

By the end of the photo shoot she was done. But it was to cute to not get the moment on film

We took a little trip to the sand dunes and Addy was just a trooper and did awesome. It was so fun.

Addy is now eating cereal and some baby food... She loves squash, peas, bananas, pears, oatmeal and rice. She is not a fan of carrots. We are still in the testing stages to find out what else she likes. She is such a cutie

Addy is so funny... She knows her name and one day this is the cute look I got after saying it

She doesnt hate her tummy but doesnt love it either, she is so happy in the morning when she wakes up and gives the biggest smiles.

Addy loves to eat her feet

Addy and her cousin Peyton love talking to each other and being together.

We are heading to Disneyland next week and I remembered that someone gave me these sunglasses so I had to try them on. Chris and I couldn't stop laugh and Addy just laughed right along with us. She is so cute I cant get enough of her.

Addy Loves bath time now

Heading to church

More tummy time

These are Chris when he was little and me as well... I just wanted to see who addy looks like the most. Chris was a dang cute little boy but I say I would have to win cuz I think Addy looks just like me when I was a baby.

Some other things Addy has accomplished...

Rolling over

she sucks on her tongue and makes the funniest sound

She loves to talk and scream

She is a huge mommy's girl

She is in 3-6 mo and some 6-9 mo cloths which a huge on her

She is starting to grab everything in her way

She loves to run her hands through your hair

She is laughing more and more and is so much fun.

We just love her to pieces and cant believe she is growing up so quickly

UPDATE!

2011-01-09T11:47:00.000-07:00

So I thought I would be better at blogging and updating you on how our fun family is doing cuz you would think I would have more time being a stay at home mom and have so much to blog about but the truth is Addy takes up all my time.... I just cant get enough of her. but for those of you that like to know what we are up to here is a update on our holiday fun and Addy 2 month stats..

Christmas was great Chris spoiled me as always... We spent Christmas eve at my dads, We had prime rib and crab legs (its our Christmas eve dinner every year) its so yummy a meal we look forward to all year. We opened presents with my dad and brother and his family. My dad always spoils us... Our big present was a trip to here.....

That's right we are heading to Disneyland in April. I love Disneyland and I am so excited to go with Chris. This will be his first time ever going. Its going to be a different experience with a baby and other kids with us. Its going to be a blast with my whole family. We have tickets to go here

I always loved going there when I was little.

We are also going here....

I think Chris is more excited to go to Seaworld then anything else.

We are also going to have dinner with this guys and his friends.

We are going to have a fun filled week. I'm so excited.

Well to finish with Christmas eve... We headed to Chris's parents and spent the night and woke up Christmas morning to open gifts. Christmas was relaxing and didn't have that much to do we went to see my mom and my grandparents. Then went beck to Chris's parents and hung out with the family and relaxed. I'm excited for next year when Addy will be more aware of whats going on and be able to open her own gifts. If this year goes as fast as last year Christmas will be here in no time.

Addy's 2 month check up

I know I am a little late we went on Dec. 20 for her check up and it went great she is growing perfect, she is a little trooper with her shots only cried for maybe a min after the nurse was done but oh boy that little cry just melt my heart. I have never heard that cry before and it was a cry to where you knew she was saying that it hurt. Her stats are

Weight: 9.5 lbs 25%

Head: 15.4 inches 75%

Height: 23 inches 75%

She is a long little girl.... Some fun facts as of today 1/9/11

She is smiling alot

love to coo and talk back to you

She is still in newborn diapers

She still fits in newborn cloths but they are pulling cuz she is so long so I have moved her to some 3 month cloths and she gets lost in them.

She is getting good at holding her head up

She loves her little play gym my friend Amy got her (pic to come)

Her eyes are turning blue

She just melts your heart with her sad face.

She hates her car seat unless the car is moving or your carrying the car seat

most of you will hate me for this.... at 6 weeks she was only waking up once a night to eat... 8 weeks she was sleeping from 11pm to 5 or 6 am 10 weeks started sleeping through the night from 10 pm to 8 am and still is today... She is really the best baby

I cant believe how fast they grow and how fun she is. She is such a sweetheart.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Festival of Trees

2010-12-14T20:33:00.000-07:00

We went to the festival of trees this year, we went with Joe, Brit and Korv. Addy as with us but Brit cut her out of the pic she was in her stroller in the front of us. I took all these from her... Thanks Brit.

It was fun to see all the trees and boy there were a ton of people there, i dont remember that many people ever going. But then again I havent been there since I was little, we would perform there when i was at dance attack every year. I think the last time i performed there it was still being held at the salt palace.

I swear there were 10 of these BYU/UTAH trees. they were all awesome.

How creative these people are and talented.

Thanks for going with us Joe, Brit and Korv.

Been awhile??

2010-10-27T13:55:00.001-06:00

Okay wow its been forever since I last posted something.... What a crazy life we have... Well to start off this very long update we were looking into buying a place for us to start our little family. We found this great deal in American Fork on this 2 bed, 1 bath condo. We closed on it and then the bank came back and wanted 10k more then what we had closed on since the sellers never closed we bailed there was no way we were going to pay that much more for this place. It need new carpet and paint and it was pretty nasty needed a really really good cleaning. So we started our search over and found this 3 bed, 2 bath and 1 car garage in Saratoga Springs, Chris wasnt to happy about Saratoga Springs but thrilled with how much storage this condo has. So we put a offer on it. They took the offer and we started the waiting game. Well while the contract was in underwriting we went back and forth with trying to figure out if this was the best idea to go through with money wise. First it was yes so my mom came over help me pack up all of our stuff and we were ready to go, then we decided no we shouldnt go through with it and so my mom came back helped me un pack and got the babies room ready at my in laws house, well the next day we got a huge blessing and decided to go through with it. Well intill it was finale i wasnt going to pack anything else till we could move in just in case, so Oct 18th we closed on our condo and my mom (bless her little heart) help me clean the condo to get ready to move in. I cleaned the carpets and my mom did all the rest and mother in law cleaned the kitchen for me. They wouldnt let me do much cuz you know I was 38 weeks along. So we got it all clean and here is it....

I will put up new ones once I get it all decorated! We are so excited to be in our own place.

Friend Shower

My friend Sarah from the summer is prego with a girl to and she had her shower today and it was so fun seeing her. She is due Oct. 28th and I am due Oct. 31. I just wish she lived closer so we could have play dates but she lives in sunny St. George so I guess that just gives me a reason to head down there. She is such a cute girl and I am so excited for her and her new family.

This is a couple of other wives from the summer last year in Indy.

Whit, Sarah, Me, Triest, and Triest cute little guy Gabe. She had him out in Indy last summer and I can not believe how big he is and how active. He is a cutie.

So fun... Good luck Sarah and hope to meet the little one when she comes in to this world.

The Final Count Down!!!

2010-08-22T16:19:00.000-06:00

Well I am 30 weeks today ladies, crazy that I only have 10 weeks left. I cant believe it.... Time is going by slow but still fast, Im down to 2 week visits with my dr. I went in the other day and had a few question for that man, seems like everything I ask him his answer is always... "Yup that's normal" so everytime I feel I need to write a question down I dont cuz I already know the answer. But I will ask next time I go in just to get the confirmation of the answer "Yup that's normal". Im doing great no complaints besides my swollen feet that hurt and the yucky heartburn! TUMS is my best friend.

Here is me at 30 weeks...

Well I had my first baby shower... The Passey family. It was fun the food was so yummy (all homemade) and of coarse baby got spoiled.

All the yummy food

The yummy homemade desserts that my sister in laws made

Yummy sugar cookies from my sister in law, and my mother in laws amazing homemade rolls. they are so good.

The fun stuff baby received. Bedding, play yard, blankets, cloths, bathing yumminess, feeding stuff.

We still have 3 more showers to come.... next up my friend shower. Sept. 1st starts at 5:30 if you haven't received your invite let me know so I can get you it or the info. I look forward to it cuz I love catching up with all my friends and seeing how everyone is all doing. I hope you all can make it.

Advice Please!

2010-07-25T19:01:00.000-06:00

Ok so I cant decide what carseat/stroller to go with. I love both of these and they both have really great ratings. First is baby trend a really great brand and is newer so it doesnt have many colors to pick from, this comes with a jogging stroller that comes in a travel system. The handle I love on the carseat, easy to carry and its light weight. I want a jogging stroller for the just in case I start running haha..... But then again that wont be till next summer that I can really use it so its not a must have right now. Who knows if I will even use it for jogging. Im not a big fan of the colors. The green is really not this bright in real life. This comes together and is a little bit cheaper then my other one Im trying to decide from. This is 4 out of 5 stars and has great reviews.

Now the other one is.......

Chicco one of the best brand out there (so I hear) This is 5 out of 5 stars and has awesome reviews from customers. The handle is not what I want but will work. This one doesn't come in a travel system in this color. So you have to get the carseat and stroller separate. This one is a bit more expensive but worth the money from what I hear. In reviews the car seat is heavier but not by much. I love the way the Chicco stroller you can put it down with just one hand and the seat lays flat and not just recline. I want a unisex color so I can use it for future babies. Plus Im not huge on the girly stuff anyways and why buy something twice when you can use the same one multiple times. So thats why I'm going with the colors. Plus I have made a carseat canopy so it will have pink over the top anyways. So how do I pick? Any advice?

UP-date....

I finally did it.... I finally picked one..... bedding for my little stinker.

I was getting worn out trying to pick out bedding and Im not a huge pink fan so it was hard looking at all the baby girl stuff cuz it was all pink but I did it and love it. Im not doing a complete nursery so this is going to work out perfectly. its so cute and I didn't want it to be to girly but to... I guess... grown up. I also got her crib and a rocker/glider.

This is what her crib looks like (minus the boy bedding ha) its espresso brown and the glider is the same with cream fabric.

I cant wait to put it together get the bedding up and see how it looks. (Pic to come)

So the other day my mom and I decided to go yard sale shopping to look for a dresser for the babies room cuz I didn't want to spend a but load on one. I have never had so much fun. Has anyone ever done that? I swear we must of went to 20-25 yard sales. We started at 7am and didn't get home till noon. But oh boy did we find some good deals. My mom found some stuff for her, and we found me a dresser for the babies room for $15 bucks we are going to paint it and hope it looks good. its a dresser/changing table. We also found this little shelf that sits on the ground that has 3 shelves that we are going to paint as well... Im going to put baskets on them and just put wipes and diapers in the baskets and then when she gets older she can keep her toys in the baskets. I have a lot of projects to do with my mom and little time to do them with how busy Im going to be the next few weekends.

A few up dates on christopher.... He is loving his job, excited to become a daddy, loves taking the boat out every chance he gets, washing the cars, and loves to play with this...

The iphone 4.... He loves his electronics. Chris has a lot of babies.... the cars, his phone, MacBook, and his PS3. other then that we are just hanging out as much as we can, getting things done.

Im still feeling great with my pregnancy seeing more side effects but thats what comes with this bundle of joy right. Its all worth it. Till next time.

As to requests... Belly Pic

My Nephews Birthday

2010-07-11T17:58:00.000-06:00

My Nephew turned 1 on June 29. He is such a little stud and has the cutest personality. This was his gift from his mommy and daddy a little bike to ride around on. They had a little pool party for him but he just hung out with me most of the time. I kinda hog him if you wanna call it that.

We were all singing Happy Birthday to him and as you can tell he had no idea what was going on.

Then the cake came and he was ready to dig in.

First couple of pick ups were to figure out what the heck it was and then....

Some playing around......

It finally made it to his mouth and with the help of Aunt Nikki (ME) some on the nose that he was looking at and trying to figure out how to get it off....

He looked like he was going to be sick but he sure enjoyed his cake

After a little cleaning up he was tired but was so excited for gifts. He loves the paper.

Mommy of coarse had to help wasn't sure what to do.

He loves books. He is getting so big and I cant believe a year has already past. Time really flies. He is such a little stud and I love him to death. Happy Birthday little buddy.

Twins Game

2010-04-28T17:12:00.000-06:00

Well from one of my last post we got to enjoy a Twins game for FREE.....

We were up pretty high but hey it was a free game and so fun. We were on the shady side of the field and I thought This will be nice we wont get hot. Well I was wrong we were freezing. The wind was blowing a little and it was cold in those seats. Some of our office was over in the sun and got some color and they said it felt so nice. Gosh.... I wanted sun. But the games was fun the Twins lost. Im pretty sure Chris and I are bad luck cuz whenever we go to the Jazz games they lose. We had a blast and cant wait to go to a other game. Thanks Chiddix for the sweet incentive!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER

2010-04-28T17:02:00.000-06:00

Happy Birthday Chris baby. You're my world!!!

I love summer sales

2010-04-21T18:47:00.001-06:00

So last Saturday of coarse the office had a incentive to see who would sell more. We are going to have a really big office this summer and so the whole office is split into 2 teams... North vs. South. So Saturday was the first day of the office being spilt and of coarse our regional Chiddix threw out a way awesome prize........What ever team sold the most get to attend...........

Oh boy how I wanted Chris's team to win (which he is in the SOUTH this summer) so the winning team had to at least get 8 a minn of 8 to even be able to go so if his team won of coarse the wives get to go with. Oh gosh so the whole day I was so excited... I am the office manager so I got play by play all day I took all the calls and had to keep score. So all the day the south were up but by 7 pm they were only at 6 man only a hour in half of day light left and they needed 2 more which seems easy but you never know. So 7:30 1 more sale came in 8ish 1 more sale came in and then a other all 3 for the south holy cow I was so excited. So YES we are going to the game tomorrow and how excited are we so...... I have never been to a major league baseball game before and I heard the target field is so amazing. Wow I'm stoked so we will try and take lots of pic and they will be up soon

Summer Home

2010-04-16T10:00:00.001-06:00

Well We finally made it to our summer home. We left on the 12th and headed up to Rexburg, ID to meet up with some of our friends so that we could follow each other out to our summer home. We made it a 2 day trip and stayed in Dickenson North Dakota and finished up on the 13th. We finally made it and boy is that one of the best feelings, Our apartments are nice we have some older appliances but they work (pic sure to come). I started working as the office manager and boy does it get crazy sometimes. But I am loving it. We have already been here..........

Its smaller then I was expecting but does have 4 levels and lots of stores so its still huge. We just haven't had a lot of time just to explore we have only been there to get something and leave. So Im excited for the day I can spend all day and just hit every level. Well we have only been here 3 days and there is a ton to do here so I am hoping to get some more stuff in even with mine and Chris's busy life. I am missing home but happy to be here with my wonderful husband who works hard and never gives up. He amazes me everyday how much heart he has, how much love he has for me, and the fun times we have together. I love him so much I couldn't have asked for such an amazing person in my life.

Crazy........ but Wonderful

2010-02-06T12:20:00.000-07:00

I know I say this every time that I am not good at keeping this blog updated but I would say it is kinda hard when you work over 40 hr a week and never have time to do anything but I thought since today I didn't feel like doing anything I would spare some lazy time to update everyone what is going on in our life!!! So I can not believe 2010 is here and Jan is over, Chris and I didn't do much on New Years Eve besides buy a car......

Yup we got ourselves a Impala SS and it is so fun. We down sized and traded both of our cars in for 1. After the running around getting papers signed and seeing family we just spent midnight at Chris brothers house and played games and watched the ball drop It was a fun 1st New Years being married.....

Chris went out of town to Las Vegas to work on this.....

He went down the first 2 weeks of Jan. and boy was it a hard 2 weeks being away from each other for the first time since we have been married. There was some time over the summer that I came home, we didn't see each other for like 3 days so 2 weeks was a long time for us. He works with this company that upgrades all the temple's security. The first 3 weeks of March he will be going here.....

The Houston Temple to upgrade their security system and then the first of April he might be going here....

the Hawaii Temple...... Oh and that one I might get to tag along just depends on a couple of things.

So anyways..... We down sized our car to 1... Reason 1: For the summer we only use one car so it is silly to have one setting at home. Reason 2: we got a killer deal on it. Reason 3: Got rid of all of our negative equity in a old cars and Reason 4: who doesn't want a new car. Its fun and in the fall when we get home we will hopefully get a other one but who knows it saves some money only having one.

Yesterday Feb 5th was our 11 month mark I can't believe next month it will mark a 1 YEAR!! Holy chicken time has gone by so fast and it has been the best year ever. I really look forward to the years to come.

For valentines day we bought ourselves some tickert to go see these guys match up.....

Yes we are going to the Lakers vs. Jazz game on Wed the 10th and Chris is so excited. He is in love with Kobe and has never seen him in live action. Im excited too... I love me some basketball hotties.... Cant wait.

Well life has been crazy this past month of Jan 2010 and it seems like its not going to die down but Im excited life is more fun when its crazy. I will try harder to keep this updated. Sorry such a long post but its fun to have things down in writing and to be able to go back and read and remember. Thanks for reading

Day 1

2009-09-30T20:44:00.000-06:00

SAN DIEGO with my mom, grandma and grandpa
We advantaged to SEA WORLD our first day there!!! It was so fun I haven't been for about 4 years so I wanted to see everything. It was perfect the crowds were not even big it was off season and nice. We stopped to pet the sting rays which were pretty crazy and the cute dolphins waiting for the trainers and at the bottom of the pic in the middle, those are eels that are kinda creepy and scary but neat. Then we enjoyed the sea lion show-- I can't believe how funny those animals are. They are so smart and cute I just want to kiss them!

Whats Sea World without Shamu what an amazing creature those killer whales are. How would it be to have a job that fun! Friends and family ask how your day went at work and you say I just swam with Shamu and teaching them new tricks, how freakin awesome!!
You could feed the sea lions so I did just that and they were so funny they would just stand up on their back fins and open their mouths and bark and make noises at you till you dropped that little fish right in their mouths!! So cute..... We finished our night off with some yummy dinner. What a great start to my birthday week!!!

LABOR DAY WEEKEND FUN @ BEAR LAKE
Holy cow........ What a awesome weekend, it was well needed and with such great company. We spent the weekend at Kylene's cabin up in Bear Lake and took our boat up. We headed up there Friday around 3 and couldn't help but take our boat out when we got there. So we got out on the lake around 6 and it was getting dark, so Chris and Greg were the only ones that got out in the water (which the water was pretty freakin cold) we got back to the cabin to meet some more friends Ken and Joslyn (Greg's friends he went to high school with) we ended up going to the hot tube which was so nice and relaxing. Saturday we spent the day at the lake and got some good ole wake boarding time in. It was dark and cloudy but never rained we missed the sun but we still had 2 more days so it didn't get us down to bad.... The boys played some football in the water why us ladies just chilled on the boat and did some lady chit chat. We had to be back to the cabin by 5 so we could watch the BYU and Oklahoma game. What a awesome game, BYU rocked it out. GO BYU!!!! Why the boys watch the game us girls went and picked up dinner at a yummy pizza place called Lake Side Pizza. We get back to see the boys jumping up and down cuz it was such a close game. Boys are so funny...... we enjoyed the last couple of min of the game while eating yummy food waiting for some of Greg's other friends to come up. After the game and to kill some time we head to the hot tub again, (which was awesome) Greg's friends got up there pretty late and we just ended up going to bed right after they got there. Sunday we spent time at the pool, took the volleyball net down to the beach and enjoyed some time in the sand then the boys played some more football in the water why us girl soaked up the sun Kylene and I got kinda bored and start to collect the sea shells around the lake (bottom left corner) Sunday night we had yummy dinner made by me & Ky (the other girls helped as well).... haha spaghetti is really easy.... After dinner we went back to the beach to have a huge bon fire. It was super big it almost burnt my eyebrows off!!! HAHA jk, good job though boys it was awesome. We had to let the fire die down so we could get some good ole marshmallow roasting in for some yummy s'mores, then enjoyed the hot tube once again. Monday we spent the morning on the lake, then cleaned up the cabin and ended an awesome weekend with some yummy sushi. Who could ask for a better weekend!!! GREAT way to end our summer.... Now bring on winter so we can go back up there. Thanks Ky and Greg for the invite, we had such a great time and thanks for being such awesome friends.

Chris's nephew Davis

2009-09-02T09:55:00.000-06:00

Ok folks.... So it just amazes me how smart this kid is. The first day I met him was Easter Sunday when Chris and I first started dating. So we are sitting down at dinner and Chris starts asking Davis what kind of cars everyone drives.... (key thing this little man is only 3 at the time) so Davis answers with all the right answers of what make and model everyone drives. I was in amazement..... so the more and more I get to know this little guy every time I see him I decide to test him.... I start to point out cars and ask him if he knows what car it is, he answers right every time. If he doesn't know what car he just says "I don't know that one, could you tell me" Such a cute, fun, smart kid. So his mom tells us he gets on this different obsessions. Cars are always in the pic and trains, but he adds things like rain gutters, Melanie his mom says as they drive down the road he always points thing out that he is obsessed with, "mom look at the rain gutter" then next satellite dishes same thing always points them out. Right now its traffic lights, and street signs, on the road and he has now memorized everyone in his neighborhoods' house numbers and in our neighborhood as well. He has posted legos all over his house with red, yellow, and green legos for traffic lights and loves to draw house numbers and street signs. This kid is freaking smart its amazing.......... oh how could I forget his obsession with license plates and their registration stickers. Man does he love to tell me about the registration stickers. He just knows everything, he is learning what the numbers mean and what months they stand for. he has down March, June, August, October, and December. He will be 5 on Dec 5 and every time he sees the number 12 on license plates he always says "12 is for December 5Th." he is such a funny kid. Ill let you know his next obsession when it come.

Kings Island & 4th of July

2009-08-30T19:30:00.000-06:00

This park was freaking fun had some of the biggest roller coasters. The office had beat their best week as a office and they get incentive money so Drew the manager decide to take us out for a treat a day at Kings Island in Ohio. So fun..... They have a 5 min wooden roller coaster ride and it was called the Beast then the one we are standing in front of is a huge Wooden roller coaster and it is so bumpy it gives you a head ache but it is fun. Then they had a huge coaster called Diamond Back (snake theme) that drops you 215 feet at a 74 degree angle and snakes around 5,282 feet of track and goes 80 miles per hour. It was our favorite ride there we went on it a ton of time. It had a fun water park that no one was at. We had a good fun day together and it was good to not be working.

The 4th of July long over due.... of coarse you know how gay Utah is and every very work over a foot is illegal and so every thing is pretty lame but in Indy they have a fire work shop on every corner that sales everything. So the guys all went in and bought a tone of fireworks and it was one of the best firework shows ever. There is hardly a clear day in Indy ans so of coarse it was raining on the 4th but made it that much better to light fireworks no fires for us....they had Roman candles that you hold on to and it shoots out fireworks so we decide it would be fun to have a Roman candle war and it was me, jess, were the only girls ( go us) then about 8 guys i got hit once on my arm but it usually just bounces off and doesn't burn it just burnt my little arm hairs off. So fun though and then they had huge fireworks that shot up into the sky. It was a super fun 4th

Indy Zoo

2009-08-30T18:53:00.000-06:00

So we went to the Indy zoo and it was pretty amazing. Hoogle Zoo is nothing compared to this but its still a fun/good zoo. So we went into the aquarium part and they had this video playing about petting sharks and how to do it. I was so confused why they would have that playing then you walk a little farther and you see this huge group surrounding this pool of water. Well what do you guess where in there sharks.........WHAT.......Crazy you could actually go up and put your hand in and touch these things that could take your hand off (well i don't know if these could bet I bet the would) anyways so i got the guts up to put my hand in and touch one freaking weird if anyone has ever felt a sting ray they feel pretty much the same. It was fun and scary. They had a penguin feeding and a lazy polar bear that didn't want to do anything.

The had a ton of animals there it was so fun. The monkey in the middle of these pic was trying to get out by eating the fence....JK he was just eating something off of the fence. haha silly monkey..... They had baby monkeys that were eating off each other and some that were chasing each other such funny animals to watch

They had a special exhibit with this dragon and a guy to tell you all about it. They have to stay by themselves or they will each other. Babies right after they hatch have to run up trees and live up there till they can defend them selves or the other dragons will eat the babies. they are pretty ugly but neat to learn about

They had this awesome free dolphin show. Alanna and baby James were with us that day and they are so fun. James is a baby everyone would want chill, relaxed, freakin cute, and you just want to squeeze him every time he laughs. Such a fun Zoo

Indy, Home, Cali, Home.......WOW

2009-08-25T13:09:00.000-06:00

So.... a lot has happened since my old post & I still have the 4th to blog about. Im super behind. Anyways.... To catch you up to today with out pic We are back in Utah for good till next summer when we leave again for summer sales!!! So it for a while in Indiana they were talking about the extension that was going to happen & where we were going to have to move to. Didn't know when it was going to happen & didn't know where. Finally they picked a place...... Bakersfield, Cali we were all excited & just waiting for the day to come to leave Indy. Well on a Wed. my honey came home at 11 p.m. after working all day & said pack up sweetheart we are leaving for Cali on Friday! I was stoked and couldn't wait to leave. We were going to be out in Cali till the end of Oct. & the boys had a lot of houses to sell. So Thurs. I went to my job out in Indy at the Daycare for the last time, my honey picked me up from work & said "How about we leave tonight?" I said ok lets do it!! went back to apt & got everything packed & ready to go. We hit the road about 7:00 p.m. & had a 22 hr, 1500 miles ahead of us to Utah. We made it back and stayed home for 2 days & then off to Cali we went a 10 hr, 600 miles & we made it to Cali. That Tues.. the boys set off to go sale & came home pretty excited they had found a ton of old APX accounts that they could switch over. So the next day they head off again to go make the big bucks.... Well people either didn't want it anymore, couldn't pass credit, or were just a pain in the rear. What the H-word...... Why cant people just be easy going & see the great deal they could have gotten. Wow sometime people are really dumb. So Chris & I sat down with our manager Drew and decided that it was probably best to just call it a summer & come home & get ready for next year so Sat after Chris went out for his last time for the summer we left Cali (remember we were only there for less then a week) at 3 PM & headed back home to UTAH!!!! We made the 10 hr drive 600 mile trip once again.... So if you add it all up Chris & I spend in 1 week over 42 hr in the car together!! It was fun but boy am I glad to be done! So we are home finally!!!

So a other thing that has happen is Chris & I went in together with Chris's brother & his wife & got ourselves something fun...............a BOAT!!!! Its a '08 Four Winns and its a small one but we got a freaking killer deal. Let's just say Chris's brothers really know how to find those deals!!! So yesterday being our 2nd day home we took her out for a spin & she is running nice she has got a tower on her & seats about 7 or 8. We are planning a Lake Powell trip & boy I cant wait I haven't been there for about 3 years I believe. Man time flies by fast.

To the wives from INDY!!!!!! It was so fun getting to know all of you & I had will cherish all the memories we made. Thanks for everything you ladies are awesome & will always be remembered. I miss you & can't wait to see you next summer!!! Keep in touch.

Patrick & Megon's wedding!!!

2009-07-22T11:50:00.000-06:00

SO....June 10th we had the chance to go to Chris's best friends wedding. It was so much fun and so awesome! Pres. Monson sealed them together, what an amazing man he is. He told lots of stories and spoke for a while! He is such a great man..... He married Patrick and Megon and then let their parents congratulate them and then its funny that he ask if Patrick had any mission buddies in the room and of coarse he did he had 3....Chris is one of them and got to go up shake Pres. Monson's hand and congratulate the couple! You probably wondering how did they get so lucky to have the prophet seal them... Patrick's mom is Pres. Monson secretary and was Pres. Hinckleys too. so Patrick is lucky and gets to hang out with Pres. Monson a lot.

Patrick and Megon after tieing the not and taking pic....It rained a little and then got sunny later that day!! it was nice and beautiful! Megon was so pretty and I just loved her dress.... Their colors were apple green, yellow with a little bit of watermelon color. It was very pretty and very well put together! It was a fun day just hanging out with my husband and sitting there wishing we could do our wedding day again!

Megon throwing her flowers, the grooms men, they had all you can eat ice cream bar...YUM YUM.... Chase and his wife Tiffany and baby Jack in her tummy, yummy cake, and their tables and center pieces!! such a fun and memorable day!!

INDY 500 PARADE!!! BOO-YEA

2009-07-21T12:16:00.000-06:00

INDY 500 PARADE!!!!
So some of the wives and I had the chance to go to the Indy 500 parade a couple of months ago..... I know super over due but hey at least your getting to see it!! :) Anyways.... So this was probably the coolest parade I have ever seen besides the Disney Parades of coarse nothing beats them! So while my husband was out knocking doors this HOT summer day I was enjoying seeing all the floats, famous people and nice cars. Its amazing how they get this floats all together and the balloons up in the air! I have never seen that before cuz of coarse I have only been to the cute little Utah small town parades nothing big!

So there were some pretty cool famous people in this parade! Mario Lopez I believe A.K.A Slater from Save From the Bell, Meredith and Jane for all you Office fans, the guy from the chick flick win a date with Tad Hamilton, and the old lady don't have the slightest cool who she is but she is pretty funny her caught broke down in front of where we were standing and so these guys started to push it and she started hitting them with her hat say "push you wimps push" and then the family at the end not a clue either! Just was taking pic of all the famous people I saw!! ha ha I was camera happy that day!

All the race car drivers and their families and alot of people that had to do with the race were in all these nice corvettes riding in the parade! It was pretty cool to see all these people! I know nothing about racing and these people were so excited about this one chick cant remember her name but I had asked them who she was cuz all of us were wondering why she was so great and the guy told us in the rudest way like DUH don't you know! I wanted to hit him, but......... I'm nice and didn't!

There was some WWII heroes in the parade and a float to honor our army, navy, air force, and Marines it was probably my favorite one! Its crazy to think that all the WWII veterans are going to be all gone soon cuz these guys were pretty old! How wonderful it is to live in a free country and do what ever we want. I'm so thankful for it!

2009-07-16T12:08:00.000-06:00

Okay......... Now when I first started this I told you how bad I was at keeping this thing updated and there has been so much that we have done since my last post. The first thing we did is.... As a office we went to the Louisville Temple. So pretty and small, I have never seen a temple that small before, only 1800 sq ft and just all right there no where to walk and get to. From the changing room right across the hall is the session room so amazing! Of coarse in Utah we have a ton right at our finger tips. It took us 3 hours to get there. In 3 hours in Utah I can get to 8 different Temples. It's so amazing how people take that for granted, the temple is so amazing and its amazing how the people out here in Indy have to plan a day that the can all go cuz its a all day process. One Sunday in RS they were planning a trip and one of the sisters said "I am driving and anyone who wants can ride with me but you should know I am going to do 2 session cuz I think its pointless to drive all that way and only do 1!" I was thinking to myself how amazing it is that I have 2 temples that are 5 min from me and I cant even go and do 1 session and this sister tries to go every other Saturday. WOW.... How amazing some of the members are and how amazing it is to be out here and not have a temple with in 5 min and how much I want to go and I have to plan a all day trip. So I set a goal that Sunday to go at least once a week when I get back home. I told myself not to take it for granted and that I should do as much temple work as possible. I love the temple and have only been back once since my own session. I am so excited to come home to Utah and have 8 different temples to go to and get to pick a different one each time. I'm so grateful to live in Utah and have the temple right there.

It sure doesn't help us to lose any weight that most of us are trying to lose in our Biggest Loser contest. But they are so yummy and half healthy cuz there is strawberries with a little bit of chocolate. Let me give you a little taste:

Besides the weather everything else is going great. Chris is working hard and getting sales under his belt and was the TOP DOG first year rep last week and started of this week great. He was the top dog yesterday and shooting for it today. We have made some great friends. Everyone out here is so great the couples are all so fun and nice. Life is going really good. I'm going to get some pic up I promise. I am more of a pic person then a reader so for all the pic people they are coming I promise.

So its been great to have work out buddies. I actually get down here to the fitness room and work out. I love it. When the other wives get here in May the wives are going to start a biggest loser contest for the summer. We are all putting money into it and who ever wins gets the money its going to be great I hope I win..... Probably wont but we will see..... That should be fun. Well hope all is well and keep the updates coming. I love reading everyone of my friends BLOGS. See ya :)

Our Big Day

2009-04-05T17:01:00.000-06:00

The best day of my life!!!

So it finally happened March 5th has come and gone. It was so beautiful.... The day before was so windy I couldn't believe it. I was praying that it wouldn't rain or be windy. I didnt care so much if it snowed but I for sure wanted it to be a nice day. (doesn't everyone) But it was such a nice day. We got married at 11 and that was a perfect time. Didnt have to wake up to early to be to the Temple. We got married in the S.L. temple and it is so amazing to be in there and think that they did all that by hand. How amazing are they..... anyways...It did get a little rocky when we were ready to come out to greet everyone our friend Tenaya (Chris's friend from Cali) said my mom wasnt even there to see us come out. So I got her phone tried calling her NO ansswer called my dad he said "she is not here" I was so frustrated. Then I finally got a hold of her and she was there but had forgotten my flowers. Oh my gosh really..... I was upset. But we didnt let it ruin our day. We got ready and headed out the door. How amazing it was to walk out MAN and WIFE. We took our pic and then headed over to the luncheon. We were running late cuz our pic at the temple took longer then we expected. Our day so far amazing.....

So after the luncheon we took our car to the hotel and had our friends pick us up and take us to our reception. It was amazing.... We got everything together and everthing decorated. It was so pretty the center pieces, flowers and the cake look awesome. The food look so yummy and it was. Everything went perfect. Just how I wanted it to. WOW.... I cant believe how long you wait and its over so quick. It was the most amazing day ever.

The day was perfect. I couldnt have asked for a better one. Everything went as planned and nothing went wrong. Besides Braden's (one of Chris's friends from cali) stupid idea of silly string it was every where. I didnt care at first intill we couldnt get it off of us. But it was fun the limo was awesome. Like I said a PERFECT day.

2008-12-01T16:41:00.000-07:00

So I'm not doing to good at this whole blogging thing..... But for a update the wedding plans are coming along. We finally got our reception center booked, I have my dress, we have a photographer and everything else is coming together. Now its just finding the right ties and shirts for the guys and the right bridesmaid dress for the girls. We still have 3 months so I'm sure we will find something. We just spent our first Thanksgiving together and I cant wait for more to come. It was so yummy..... well until next time

2008-11-02T21:33:00.001-07:00

~~~HALLOWEEN~~~

Halloween.... oh man What can I say about. Only that is was one of the funnest nights ever. So we went out looking for costumes the Wed. night before Halloween with Greg & Kylene. We wanted to be 80's Rock Stars so we thought for sure the DI would totally have stuff for us. The first DI we went to me and Ky found our stuff. Greg & Chris didn't have much luck. So we went to some other place..... Savers, then to a other DI where we had luck with Chris's jacket and then Kylene & Greg remembered that Target had the best spandex so we went there to get the boys there pants. We get there and NO pants...... Greg and Chris were a little upset.... So we then went to Walmart and were still trying to decide if Rock Stars were still the one.... we then called it a night and the next day (Thurs) Kylene went and found the boys their pants. They were stoked & as you can tell they looked good. Halloween came around and we went to my friends house and for a party. We got there and let me just tell you the party was hopping.....NOT so we decided to have a photo shoot for the Rock Stars cover album. Probably the funnest things I have ever seen. The boys were so in to it. Kylene and I almost peed our pants. I will never for get that night!! Some pic so you have a idea of what I'm talkin about!!!!

Kylene's hair was freakin awesome!!! I gave her the wing and let me tell you she is an AMAZING back comber!!!

This is when it all began with the action shots.......

They butts looked really good in the Spandex!!! :) thought I would share

They started with these for their album cover!!!!

Greg was really feeling it..... Chris was too its was the freakin best ever!

This is where Kylene & I almost peed our pants..... They were being so freakin funny

They were so creative!! So funny

This is how the night ended..... SO many pic put to many to all put on! I hope everyone had a awesome Halloween! We had a blast cant wait till next year.

2008-11-02T21:26:00.000-07:00

So a little bit about how Chris and I got started!!! We met senior year in high school in Mr. Evans english class. We were on opposite sides of the room but Chris now tells me he always tried to time it just right that we would leave class together! His friends from Cali tell me today that he had the biggest crush on me. I wish I knew. Its so cute to hear about it now. I think how can someone have a crush on me.... So senior year at graduation I asked for a pic with him. Crazy.... I even framed it. Still framed today in a graduation from with 2 other pic 1 with me and Kylene Tait, and the other with me and Jessica Swensen. Its so crazy how things turn out. I fround him on facebook in March and we went on our first date March 7th. We have now been together for 9 months and are engaged. Im so excited.....SL temple here we come........ Keep in touch for up dates!!!
